hook-tool-output-truncator

What problem does it solve?

Truncates oversized tool outputs from grep, glob, webfetch, bash, and other tools to prevent context window blowout, preserving the beginning and end so the LLM retains useful context.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Middle-cut truncation preserves the start and end of long outputs to keep essential context.
• Configurable limits allow a global default and per-tool overrides for precise control.
• Low overhead activates only when outputs exceed thresholds, reducing token usage.
• Use case: large repo searches or logs where results overwhelm the context window.

Quick Start

Start by enabling the hook in your project and integrating the tool-output-truncator with your existing hook pipeline to apply per-tool limits.
